David Reed, el Toro Mexican Restaurant, third place winner in 2022
Nominations are now being accepted for the 2022 el Restaurante Manager of the Year Awards! The program, now in its seventh year, has a new generous sponsor for the program: Gordo's Foodservice.
“We recognize that managers are often unsung heroes in a restaurant’s daily operations, and so we’re happy to take part in a program that honors them,” says Dan Setlak, general manager of Gordo’s Foodservice. “Managers have always played an indispensable role in leading their teams. However, these past couple of years have brought on challenges like we’ve never seen before. In so many restaurants it has been the manager’s leadership, resourcefulness and sheer determination that have been essential in keeping the operations growing, evolving and succeeding. We definitely feel they deserve recognition for all they have been through and accomplished.”
The Manager of the Year Contest, which is free to enter, provides cash prizes to the top three managers and certificates to all of the nominees. The winners will be profiled in an article in the Nov/Dec issue of el Restaurante.
